[QUOTE="XanderMoser, post: 2991926, member: 574859"] Woah. You need to get a couple things straight first. Nothing will ever get damaged by switching the terminals on a speaker. It just puts it 180 degrees out of phase. However, if the amp was shorted, that could damage it, especially if it didn't have a built in short protection. You replaced a breaker? You mean a fuse? You were not reading ohms. You were reading henries, a measurement of inductance, not resistance or impedance (resistance at a specific frequency). Make sure your multimeter is set to the correct reading setting. The ohms symbol is a little upside down horse shoe looking thing. Try reading the DC resistance of the sub again. [/QUOTE]
